About this game

GoGrinder is for practicing Go problems.

Improving your reading is the fastest way to get stronger at Go, and solving problems is the best way to improve your reading.

* Comes with 497 problems, and you can easily add your own collections.
* Keeps track of % correct and average time on collections so you can track your progress.
* Randomly rotates problems to encourage learning key shapes instead of memorizing problems.

Ratings and reviews

Not bad, could be better. I love that you can add your own collection of tsumegos. But the app really needs some user friendliness such as a more logical way to exit out of a problem set and return to the main menu. (Home button?) Also, one thing I wish would be changed is the automatic failure of a problem if, after having successfully solved it, you continue to place stones down to try out different things beyond the problem. Another app, Tsumego Pro, allows you to do this without penalty.

The app is great but where can I download some of the tsumego packs i see in the preview pics here? I've been looking for cho chikun's encyclopedia of life and death for a long time. Thanks.

Great app. No frills, solid go app that you can add your own problem sets to. Position and color randomizer can be disabled for mixed results. Sometimes it will switch colors on the problem but not the comments. My biggest complaint is unable to view thumbnails of collections to skip to a certain problem or solve with reading only. Great resource for grinding out go problems though.
